Dace tends to label everything with which he or his idol disagrees as
reductionist, whether the label applies or not.

Some parts of Piaget is better than other parts; however, the field of
genetic epistemology, which he founded, has the same relation to
phenomenology that memetics has to semiotics; one is a structural
snapshot (phenomenology, semiotics), while the other is a functional
description of a dynamic process (genetic epistemology, memetics).

Hokay. It does appear to me, however, that he might not have brought
up that pseudoscientific prestidigitator's latest paranormal peroration
because of the less than ebullient reception which past works by the
wacko have received here.
And, remember, I just reposted a paper of mine that I considered to
have anticipated a line of thought he recently posted; he is the one who
responded with the initial vitriol.
